That would work, it would just be slightly confusing. Consider the following wikimarkup: [[File:Anthony Kennedy]] Is that a picture, a video, a sound clip? Maybe even a PDF of a book by that name? It's not obvious. Of course, hitting preview would immediately tell you, so I think the confusion would be tolerable. But it would be a little weird. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
